الإمام علي (عليه السَّلام):

أَعْجَزُ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنِ اكْتِسَابِ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ أَعْجَزُ مِنْهُ مَنْ ضَيَّعَ مَنْ ظَفِرَ بِهِ مِنْهُم‏ .

Imam Ali (as):

The weakest of people is the one who is incapable of acquiring friends, but still weaker than him is the one who cannot keep the one he has managed to make friends with [and loses his friendship].
